Completed Developments

Construction is nearly complete on a completely new, accessible and sustainable apartment community to replace the isolated 1968 Hillsdale Terrace public housing community in southwest Portland’s Multnomah neighborhood.

Home Forward partnered with non-profit LifeWorks NW on a development in Northeast Portland that provides permanent apartment homes with supportive services and expand a culturally-focused residential treatment program, Project Network.

A cornerstone of the Portland region’s ten-year plan to end homelessness, the Bud Clark Commons is the result of a joint collaboration by the Portland Housing Bureau, Multnomah County, Transition Projects, and Home Forward.

This building in downtown Portland was developed by Home Forward as a new home for Multnomah County’s Bridgeview program, providing short-term housing stabilization for people experiencing homelessness.

This historic Portland landmark served as a low-income residential hotel since it was built in 1907. Over one hundred years later, Home Forward completed a renovation that brought it up to code and returned it to safe and decent service.
